Bug/Clarification: Gemini 3.1 Pro and 3.5 Flash Quota Reset Increased from 5 Hours to 5 Days

Body: I am a Google AI Pro subscriber building an internal workflow tool in Antigravity, and I need clarification on a severe quota issue I encountered today.

I am currently juggling this project alongside my regular job. When the standalone Gemini 3 Flash model was removed, it made development difficult. Because the newer models share a pool and the quota runs out in about 45 minutes, I had to change my routine to maintain any momentum. I started waking up extra early just to run a minor task and trigger the 5-hour reset timer, and I have been staying up late to squeeze in three-four work cycles a day. It is exhausting, but it was the only way to make consistent progress.

Yesterday, I finished my cycles and logged off as usual. When I woke up early this morning to do the same thing, the quota had not reset to the standard 5 bars. It only refilled 1 bar. Worse, the reset timer now shows 5 days instead of the usual 5 hours.

Is this a bug? If this is an intentional change, it effectively makes the platform unusable for continuous development.

To summarize the recent downgrade in usability:

  • We lost the Gemini 3 Flash pool and its higher capacity.

  • 3.5 Flash was introduced but shares a pool with 3.1 Pro, reducing its overall utility.

  • Now, that shared capacity is locked behind a 5-day timer with only partial refills.

Can someone from the team confirm if this is a glitch or a permanent policy change?
